UAVOS

UAVOS Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of unmanned systems for commercial, industrial, and defense applications. Founded in 2011, the company has established itself as a provider of proprietary solutions in the unmanned aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic vehicle markets. The company was co-founded by Aliaksei Stratsilatau, who serves as the CEO and lead developer. Stratsilatau's background includes a degree in Computer and Information Science, with a thesis on non-linear computer modeling for solar power cells, and subsequent work in electronics, software, and UAV systems design. Vadim Tarasov, an investor with a background in private equity and venture capital, is the Chairman of the Board.

UAVOS's business model revolves around the design, development, and manufacturing of unmanned vehicles, proprietary autopilot systems, and individual components. Their offerings include multi-role UAVs, advanced communication systems, servo drives, pan-tilt platforms, and rescue/emergency landing systems. The company serves a global client base, providing solutions for security, surveillance, inspections, and cargo transportation. Revenue is generated through the sale of these products and tailored services, which include rapid prototyping, custom design, complex payload integrations, and even the conversion of manned aircraft into UAVs. Additionally, UAVOS offers aircraft and equipment leases, flight testing support, and data analytics services.

The product portfolio is extensive, featuring a range of fixed-wing and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAVs. Notable products include the UVH-500, a heavy-lift VTOL UAS capable of carrying up to 160 kg, and the Albatross, a long-endurance fixed-wing UAV for surveillance. The company has also developed high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) like the ApusDuo, designed for stratospheric missions. A core component of their technology is their proprietary autopilot system, which features a distributed architecture for enhanced reliability and is capable of fully autonomous operation. Recently, UAVOS has been advancing its technology by integrating computer vision and AI for navigation in GNSS-denied environments. The company operates its own production facilities, including composite design and construction facilities and environmental testing chambers, allowing for vertical integration and control over the manufacturing process.
